A method for production analysis includes: receiving production data at a processor from a plurality of tools spatially arranged within a manufacturing facility; creating a hierarchal topology of the data in the processor, wherein each level of the hierarchal topology is based on a different one of a plurality of static parameters that are selected from a list consisting of: a tool identifier, a batch identifier, and a spatial orientation; displaying, at a user interface implemented by the processor, a first analysis of a first level of the hierarchal topology, wherein the analysis contains parameters related to other levels of the hierarchal topology; receiving, via the user interface, a selection by a user of a first parameter displayed on the first analysis; and updating the user interface to display a second analysis of a second level of the hierarchal topology that is related to the first parameter.

A reinforced vertical-NAND structure is provided. The reinforced vertical-NAND structure includes a first set of interleaved oxide and nitride layers formed into first and second vertical structures. The first vertical structure rises from a first section of a substrate and the second vertical structure rises from a second section of the substrate. The reinforced vertical-NAND structure also includes a reinforcing layer and a second set of interleaved oxide and nitride layers formed into third and fourth vertical structures. The reinforcing layer includes sheets, which are distinct and laid across respective tops of the first and second vertical structures, and bridges connecting the sheets. The third vertical structure rises from the sheet corresponding to the first vertical structure and the fourth vertical structure rises from the sheet corresponding to the second vertical structure.
